Key features

  1. Heavy core drop

    Breaking a mace releases a heavy core, so the weapon returns a material when it is destroyed.

  2. Configurable drop rates

    The author notes that drop rates may be configurable, though the Modrinth page does not confirm the options.

  3. Server-side operation

    Only the server runs the mod, and clients need nothing extra to take part.

What the author says

Inspired by this reddit thread by u/S0ulja-boy this is a mod that does a very simple, but quality of life task! Breaking a mace will drop the heavy core inside, allowing it to be reused in future maces due to how rare it is.
